\nclarifications come after new discussions with Prime Minister and leader of the
\nSocial Democratic Party Marcel Ciolacu about the reforms envisaged by the
\ngovernment through an emergency order relating to the administration and the
\ntax area. The Prime Minister says he is ready to resign if the Liberal Party
\nwithdraws its support for this package of measures aimed at maintaining the
\nbudget deficit within the limits agreed upon with the European experts. New
\nconsultations between the coalition partners are announced for these days. The
\ndraft emergency order on the elimination of a number of tax facilities and the
\nmodification of a number of taxes is still under debate. The measures are aimed,

\nincreases are leading to a higher inflation rate, namely direct taxes on
\nconsumption, excise taxes and VAT taxes. The report mentions uncertainties regarding the projected
\ntrajectory in the context of the likely adoption of some tax correction
\nmeasures to boost budget revenues, which are likely to have a direct impact on
\ninflation, such as increases in indirect taxes – the VAT and excises.<\/p>\n
